Pretty apron for a pretty lady...

I made this apron for my brother's girlfriend for Christmas and finally remembered to ask for some photos of it! I was really chuffed with the result and even more so when they thought it was shop bought!!


It features Ikea fabric for the main body, a little tea-towel loop, decorative stitching on the pocket, giant ric-rac and it's fully lined. So here are some photos of my first apron - more to come!

The pocket: 

New Twitter account and loads of new ideas.....

Have spent a bit of time setting up a Twitter account. I now have 27 followers!! Wow! Find me @sewcology!!


It does mean I've managed to connect with a few more sewing enthusiasts and have spent quite a few minutes (errrr, hours) browsing some new sites.
